Yeah, I know. When looking back at it, it look a little flimsy. But the idea was to make a "brake" or a redirection in the construction so the recoil would go another way, like the modern Pinarillo race bike...

This is pretty cool. Can you explain how the recoil reducing mechanism works? It looks like it is a rifle version of the Kriss Vector recoil reducing mechanism, but in that mechanism, the clip came before the mechanism, not after; in this mechanism, the clip is after. Also, does the mechanism redirect the recoil strait down?
